Departure Point

360 Chicago Observation Deck, 875 N Michigan Avenue 94th Floor, Chicago, IL 60611-1803

What To Expect

Enjoy the high point of your Chicago visit with this admission to 360 Chicago (John Hancock Observatory), 94 stories up in one of the country’s tallest buildings. Anyone looking to get an incredible view of the unique lakefront landscape and scenic architecture of Chicago will enjoy this sky-high excursion.

Make your own way to the 360 Chicago entrance, located along Michigan Avenue. Once inside the building, step into a high-speed elevator that will whisk you more than 90 stories above the ground at a speed of 20.5 mph (33 kph). As the doors open, make your way to the floor-to-ceiling windows as you enjoy incredible aerial views of the Windy City.

Depending on the time of day you visit and the season, you’ll see all manner of interesting highlights. Morning and afternoon tend to give Lake Michigan a richer blue tint, while sunset offers the perfect opportunity for a romantic moment. After dark, the city sparkles down below.

Those who have worked up an appetite from the high altitude can stop by CloudBar, for a delicious array of locally sourced snacks, cocktails, and beer.

TILT tickets can be purchased on site. TILT is an attraction of outward tilting glass 1,000 feet above the Magnificent Mile. This is the first of its kind in the world and offers unique, downward facing views.

A good time was had

Freda_M, May 2026

Very interesting and a little scary, a good scary it was so much fun. We had fun with the other folks

Do it

Donald_C, Apr 2026

Great time. Enjoyed the view of the city. Worth the money. Not too crowded. Staff was very friendly.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks so much for the nice review of 360 CHICAGO, Donald. We're glad you had a good time and hope you can come back and visit us again very soon.

Great views of the city....

Chris_H, Apr 2026

Great views of the city. The weather was perfect when I was there, so you could see for ages from such a height. The only thing I would say needs to be included in the cost would be the TILT experience. Maybe the overall cost can be adjusted to include that and maybe a discount on the exorbitant prices of the “professional” photos the staff take of you before you go up the escalator. Overall…worth it, perhaps with some price tweaks.

Francine_M, Mar 2026

I’ve done this during the day and now at night and the views at night are gorgeous. I will say it’s a little musty and hot as it appears there’s no ac. This ticket does not include the lift. It will be $15 per person for the lift. Other that the experience is grwat

On the day, we went, the lines were short and moving easily. Staff that directed us between the points were curious and kind. There was ample space to view the city from all angles.

Worth your time

Kasia_F, Feb 2026

Worth the wait, view was amazing. I recommend going at nighttime. You will wait in a line after you purchase your Tilt ticket but it moves fairly quickly.

Say no to Viator

Jami_M, Feb 2026

I paid for the sip and view and they didn't include that in my ticket. It was an extra $16 per ticket for the drink. Just buy at the place. I personally Will not buy from Viator again.

DO NOT do the TILT -- waste of money!

Paris_B, Jan 2026

The views are great, but the TILT experience is NOT.WORTH.IT. I had a terrible experience. It was incredibly over priced and the actual tilt is so mild that we didn't even realize it was happening. It does not change your view at all. I'm not sure why some people can't handle the thrill or the feeling...because for us, there was no feeling at all! I RECOMMEND SKIPPING THIS!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks for the review. We understand TILT is not for everyone, which is why we make it completely optional and encourage everyone to watch it before buying tickets. We hope you can come back soon!

I did the TILT...

Halle_B, Jan 2026

I did the TILT experience, it was like $18 extra so I thought it was a little expensive for a two minute ride. They won’t let you record or take pictures. They do take pictures for you with a camera, but you have to purchase those, which was also expensive ($30-50). Shouldn’t cost as much as it does. It was nice to do once but I probably won’t do it again.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks for the feedback, Halle. We encourage photography throughout the observation deck, with the lone exception of when TILT is moving for safety reasons. Hope you can come back again soon!

360 Chicago!!

Harold_R, Jan 2026

Great experience, elevators were fast, staff was awesome and the views 10/10. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Chicago.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks a lot for the review of 360 CHICAGO. We really appreciate the positive feedback. Hope you can make a return visit in the near future!

Fun space to see the amazing views of the city!

Dawn_B, Jan 2026

We loved the views, staff very friendly. Great angles all around the floor. Realized after the fact that if we wanted to do the Tilt we should have reserved tickets and a time in advance as it was a two hour wait when on site. Next time!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks a lot for the review of 360 CHICAGO. We really appreciate the positive feedback. Hope you can make a return visit in the near future!

It was terrible, we stood...

John_R, Jan 2026

It was terrible, we stood in line for the tilt for 45 minutes only to find out that we didn’t have the proper ticket. Then, upon trying to buy the proper ticket we were told that it was sold out until 8:45 so we lost our spot in line. That’s not good communication. Someone communicating while we were in line to make sure people had the right ticket or some signage would have avoided a bad situation especially for my three children.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how frustrating this experience must have been, especially with your children, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Please note that TILT tickets cannot be purchased in advance through third-party ticket providers; they are only available at the time of your visit. Your comments have been shared with our team as we continue to improve guest guidance and communication. We truly value your input and hope to have the opportunity to provide a smoother experience for you and your family in the future.

Tilt is a great experience except for the one and a half hour wait for it. There should be signs in the line telling people how long they have to wait

Great time!

Alexandra_M, Oct 2025

It was pretty cool and a neat experience. I really like how I purchased a ticket for a later time but I was in the area earlier than my ticket time and they easily switched it with no hassle.

Superb Sunset Views

Brian_L, Oct 2025

Thankfully we booked this on a lovely sunny day so the evening was stunning. Having taking in the sights around the top of the tower, we claimed our free drink (no commemorative cup). Something that as a tourist I would highly recommend to anyone.
